Changing colors on right click context menu

original title: change highlight

When I right click on the desktop in a drop-down list appears. Is there a way to change the highlighting when I move my mouse over there? Also the top of the window where it has File, Edit, etc when I move the mouse it it goes black. Can I change this too? On windows 98, you can change it.

OK it seems that my problem is not yet solved. My problem is when I had windows 98 I could change appearances on 98, but windows 7 does not work correctly. When I get an empty spot on the Monte of his gray box office and the highest point is the light. In windows 98, it can be changed on the appearance settings. On windows 7 I have change the color for this settings and is always gray. Also, when hover the words File, Edit, etc., it becomes black. I had no problem with the 98. How can I make it look like windows 98?

Hi Rose

Optional color settings have not much effect in Windows 7 because the display is based on the selected theme. If you use an Aero theme, then these settings will have almost no efffect.

Here's what you can do.

Right-click on an empty space on the desktop and select Personalize.

In the upper part of the window, scroll down and select the Windows Classic theme. This will give you the view that is closer to what looked like Windows 98.

You can then enter in the color of the window / advanced appearance settings and try different options until you get what you are looking for.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for using Windows 7

  • Change the option of folder icon available in the right-click context menu in Windows 7 Explorer

    Hello:

    I want to be able to change the icon of a folder in the "context of the folder right-click menu' (as other choice such as: copy, paste, rename, etc.) instead of having to navigate to-> propierties of the folder-> customize-> change icon.

    Is it possible to add this option via regedit?

    Thank you!

    Hi Soul-Hunter,

    You will not be able to add the ability to change the icon of the folder by right click of the mouse and you can add that to the right click menu, this is normal.

    However, if you want to make a right click on the folder and change the folder icon, follow the steps:

    1. right click on the folder that you want to change the icon.

    2. click on properties.

    3. click on the Customize tab and click on Edit button icon under the folder icon option.

  • Keyboard shortcut for right click context menu

    Right-click on the touchpad requres a lot of pressure, is there another way to access the context menu I normally open with a right click of the mouse?  Or, is it possible to program the touchpad on the dv6 3134nr so that I can type to open the context menu instead of using the cumbersome right click?  My touchpad sensitivity is set too low to, but this doesn't seem to affect the pressure required click.

  • "new simple volume" is not in disk management right click context menu, cannot go beyond initialzing the disc/disc

    I bought a hard drive 'as new' off Amazon, a player Samsung HD204UI ATA (2 TB), it is said in the devce properties. I could not initialize the disk when I had plugged the startech USB adapter 3.0, so I connected directly to the motherboard. I started using a hard I havn't drive used in some time because he was temporarily not working not because without warning a fool electrician of neveda electricity company shut off the power without warning! But in any case, for some reason, it started working again, but stopped to use it anyway, but here I use back there. I noticed that the volume button will not appear if it is an indication of something, and it is grey also in the corner icons or turn off. A guy here with confirmation by another user claimedf if I connect powered off then back in it works but again either. I am therefore able to initialize this drive on this Windows 7 x 64 a (the same I said I have not used for months). But then I discovered for use I have to select new simple volume (and yet it is in basic mode). However, the order is not yet in the list, and the others are grey except for the properties and some other weird thing that allows the switch-u between dynamics and basic, etc.

    So what now? I should try logging on or off, and perhaps that will appear, or possible I screwed up this seller Amazon Reader? Why can not format just the thing as I can a flash drive?

    Is your copy of Mozilla's Firefox, or was it provided by your favorite distribution? Maybe your distro added some extra features in Firefox for a better integration. If you haven't already done so, try to download a copy here and see if you get a menu popup long in the executable file:

    If that doesn't help also, you may need to use the extension to hide the context menu entries:

    This can happen if you have third-party shell extensions installed, try disabling context menus not Microsoft one managers
    and see who will be the culprit and remove.

    Use ShellExView - Shell Extensions Manager to disable context menus managers other than Microsoft:

  • Private browsing on right context menu on the shortcut icon of Mozilla's Firefox on MS Win XP

    I am already aware that the Mozilla Firefox browser has the ability to always start Firefox in private browsing mode by putting the brand into its Options on...

    However, I noticed that on MS Win 7 OS, we can run Mozilla Firefox browser directly, by clicking on the right click (context menu right) on Mozilla's Firefox shortcut icon (for example in Windows taskbar and Start Menu) and here are the options available immediately: 'Enter private browsing', 'New tab' and 'open a new fenΩtre '.

    Now, my question is, can I do something that has the same options (or at least 'option to Enter private browsing), is also available on that even just before the track described as on MS Win 7 OS, but the MS Win XP operating system also?

    Thank you in advance for help!
    Best regards!

    Create a shortcut on the desktop, and add the switch to the command line to start in private browsing mode.
